Volume I of FLORA OF NEW ZEALAND by H. H. Allan, published in 1961, dealt with all the indigenous vascular plants except monocotyledons. The present Volume II is similarly concerned only with indigenous plants and includes all the monocotyledon families except Gramineae, the main descriptive text being a direct continuation from Volume I.

As before, synonymies and bibliographic references are delt with rather fully. Newly recognised taxa, described in a series of precursory papers, are included. The text figures are all new, 25 by Nancy M. Adams and 18 of orchids by J. Bruce Irwin.

In an index to the Annals the works there cited are clasified according to the families with which they deal. Chromosome numbers published up to the end of 1968 are listed for indigenous conifers, dicotyledons, and monocotyledons. Corrigenda (but not addenda) to Volume I complete this volume.
